Submissions
Practical PM Journal welcomes article submissions on any topic related to any aspect of project management. Active members of our community are published at least once per year. The diversity of the community results in a wide range of topics in each journal issue. Duplication of past topics is acceptable provided that subsequent articles enhance the original theme.
Articles are submitted for review. The editor ensures that each is relevant to Practical PM Journal and meets basic specifications. If the editor determines that the article is acceptable, it may be scheduled for publication. As Practical PM Journal is a non-refereed publication, all content is the responsibility of the author. The authors retain intellectual property rights for their submissions. Minor changes such as grammar or spelling corrections may be applied without notice to the author. Substantial modifications will not be applied without the expressed consent of the author. If the article is not ready for publishing, the editor has the right to return it to the author for revision.
Articles may cover any topic related to project management and business processes. There is no upper or lower length limit but articles should be succinct. Longer articles may be considered for publication in multiple Practical PM Journal issues at the discretion of the editor.
Project Management Professionals should note that writing articles for the Practical PM journal are eligible for PDU credits which are of use during the credential renewal process, (CCR). For more information, refer to the PMP Handbook at http://www.pmi.org/.
Practical PM Journal provides the opportunity for members to avoid project problems, gain efficiency, control schedules and more. The body of knowledge contains solutions that have been effective during actual project implementations.
Projects often do not follow an orderly progression through the standard processes. Practical PM Journal presents actual experiences that will help members deliver better quality in their projects.
Every project worker has interesting experiences to share with the
community. Many times, lessons learned are not adequately documented within project environments due to the lack of time and resources. The journal can be a good way to publish a succinct educational piece describing successes, failures and troubles without casting blame or inviting criticism. General analysis can be given for the historical results which can be very useful while not being vindictive.
